What We're Working on This Week:
First Grade Curriculum:
Language Arts
This week in spelling we will focus on words with the -ie and igh phonograms. In Writing we will continue working on writing about historical figures and other non-fiction text. We are also going learn about VERBS and practice writing poems as well!
Don't forget Library Day:
Wednesday 1A & 1B
Thursday 1C & 1D
Social Studies
This week in Social Studies we will wrap up our unit on Famous Americans. We will focus on Betsy Ross and the founder of our country! The kids have really enjoyed this unit and have gotten into the history of our nation and those who helped to shape it! It has been very fun!
Math
In math this week we will be working on applying our addition and subtraction strategies to solve word problems! We will learn about looking for key words, applying strategies, and checking our answers.
Homework note: PLEASE make sure your child is doing Reflex Math for 15 minutes 2 times a week. It is crucial that our learners are practicing their addition and subtraction facts outside of class time.
Science
In science this week, we will be learning all about plants! We will each get to plant our own seeds in our classroom in order to observe the plant life cycle. We will become experts about all the parts of the plant and how each part functions to keep the plant alive!
